Calendars make good holiday gifts

Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation, which is headquartered in Walnut Creek, is selling its 2009 Celebrity Pet Calendar to raise money for the foundation. Through La Russa's leadership, ARF has found homes for 17,206 dogs and cats in the last 17 years.

Calendars are for sale at www.arf.net for a donation of $15, sponsored by Nestle Purina PetCare Co.

ARF also has People Connect programs, which strengthen the human-animal bond for the elderly, residents of assisted living centers, teens at juvenile hall, high school students, grade school students and young children. Call 256-1ARF (256-1273).
